AS ver2 mouse down plays a movie clip?

[JohnyT9760]

What action script would you use (ver2) to make a mouse down on a button play a movie clip?

Thx for the help

are you using a video loader to play the video or do you want it to load a new video on top of the current?

I'm not using video the movie clip I'm refering to is a movie clip instance in flash.

try using something like this:
( code goes on frame )

yourButton.onPress = function()
{
yourMovieClip.play();
}

I guess what I was trying to do was get a button (movieclip) to control the main time line,the code I was looking for was this. In the button there was a hit state that was triggering the the hit area of the movie clip I simply attacked the _root.goToAndPlay("home") AS so that way it would go to the frame labled "home" in the main time line and then play the content from there.

on (rollOver){
this.gotoAndPlay("over")
}
on (releaseOutside, release, rollOut){
this.gotoAndPlay("release")
}
on (release){
this.gotoAndPlay("release")
_root.gotoAndPlay("home")
}

Thx for the help bro take it easy
